Location:

Cork is known as Corcaigh in Irish, and is sometimes called "Ireland's Venice" because of its many bridges over channels of the River Lee. It is the third city in Ireland. It is a vibrant place with a young population. Cork offers much to its visitors. The city has many fine restaurants (nearby Kinsale is known as the gourmet capital of Ireland), cinemas, theatres, art galleries, and shopping centres.

It is just 20 minutes away from some of the most spectacular scenery in Western Europe. Only 20 minutes away you can visit the heritage town of Cobh (pronounced Cove) where the Titanic made its last port of call.

In Ireland sports are very important, and nowhere more than in Cork, the home of hurling, an ancient sports game that is only played in Ireland. Cork currently lead the roll of honour in All-Ireland winners with 30 All-Ireland titles, a fact all Cork people are very proud of. Each weekend it is possible to see live sports in one of the many sporting venues around Cork city. So, why not go to see the magnificent game of hurling when in Cork.
